What are the best movie montages of all time?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From the training montage in Rocky to the baptism massacre montage in The Godfather, there are plenty of iconic montages from film history. Pioneered by Sergei Eisenstein, the montage was initially designed as a way to create symbolism in a story, but its primary function in modern filmmaking is to create the illusion of the passage of time.
9 The Odessa Steps In Battleship Potemkin The inventor of montage theory, Sergei Eisenstein, offered up a perfect example of the montage at work in his silent war film Battleship Potemkin. The civilian massacre on the Odessa Steps is one of the most acclaimed and influential sequences in the history of cinema.
7 The "Layla" Mob Murder Montage In Goodfellas After the Lufthansa heist in Goodfellas, Jimmy Conway has the bright idea to kill everyone else involved in the robbery so he can keep the whole score for himself. The somber second half of “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos, notable for its melancholic piano melody, plays on the soundtrack as bodies are found all over New York.
4 Shaun's Survival Plans In Shaun Of The Dead When Shaun and Ed finally realize a zombie apocalypse is taking place in Shaun of the Dead, they try to come up with a plan of action. Shaun runs through a few different survival plans, each complete with its own rapid-paced montage. This scene is a prime example of the frenzied, energetic cutting that makes Edgar Wright’s movies so engaging. It’s full of great little details, like Shaun’s “I’m a genius” mug.
